Can you elaborate? GP's argument is verbose with a lot of explanations and examples that I agree with. What text encoding and how would it be more efficient?

Thanks for the explanation. As I wrote in another reply, maybe I should try again :)

Well, it's been years (like 15 or so) since I gave it a go, really, so maybe I should try again. But, yes, holding Ctrl and then pressing X and then S seemed too cumbersome for an ordinary operation like saving your buffer (or frame?).

Is it still true that saving a file you are working on is Ctrl-x Ctrl-s? I am sorry but I will take vim's :w normal/insert/visual mode hell over this simplistic but cumbersome ergonomics issue any day. (disclaimer: happy vim

Right, each one of us needs to finish the work before the deadline. I really don't like how we perpetuate assignments to individuals. I suppose it stems from our education system and ticket assignments but I would really like to see mo

Agreed. In my opinion, just goes for show that you need a good team organization/culture more than another tool. While I'm sure a lot of people will find this tool useful, I believe it will also help disfunctional teams last longe

It's weird that the author agrees with their sentiment. In my opinion, duplicating code is never the right answer. Using a different form of deduplicating would be the solution here. Just write a few functions that do the math and then

Actually, they lacked 0, so they could not even terminate their C strings properly.

Since it's basic physics, how much power do you think is required to spin a cubic meter of water at 1g centrifugal force? How much energy is required to do that for a year? I'm pretty sure it's lots :) I think that we just ha

> Go is almost as fast The performance measurements I've seen point to Go being faster. To me it seems also to make more sense since Go is compiled to native code, whereas Java still needs JVM to run the non-native binary. Can you e

I somewhat agree but there is a lot to be said about "reinventing the wheel", while you are learning. Not only do you get to a solution, you also consider other approaches and discover why they don't work, or work as well. Ha

It's actually the other way around. DST is applied in summer, so people actually want those 17 hours when it's convenient :)

I somewhat agree. I think that Shannon's theorem about information entropy comes into play and AFAIK we are very close already so improvements are bound to be small as we try to get closer and closer to the theoretical limit. Still, I

Actually, English is not my native language, I started learning it in primary school in fifth grade (at around ten). Unfortunately, teachers do teach that and there was a test for the various group names, like a school of fish, a pod of wha

Because doing this is illegal. Also, would you actually want to work at a company where people are bleeding the company for their own benefit? I cannot even imagine the toxicity. Even hearing the offer I would be so gone.

Well, I am not a lawyer but the situation seems pretty clear. You are not the original owner but you can still use the code under the MIT license, simply meaning that you have to adhere to its license. Given that MIT license is so permissiv

I don't think it's so straightforward but I guess it depends on what societal structures we are comparing. Considering historical structures I would argue that we currently live in a world much more open to various contributions.

Well, this seems more like an advertisement to use Haystack. It's not very convincing as it, as a sibling commenter said, contains no real content. How is a GitHub data based report different than just a new form of a KPI? Apparently,

Sorry, cannot find any news remaining on the web regarding the incident. I suppose the reason is that it was some time ago. The basketball player in question was Marko Milič: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marko_Milič

Glia cells can be seen, sure. But to my knowledge we still don't understand their impact. Anyway, my point is that even if you are able to recreate the structure you would need to replicate the functionality. A better analogy would be

I find it really funny that a lot of people are supporting keeping DST. Basically, we wanted to sleep in so we started to shift our work time from 6 to 7, then to 8 and now we start work at 9. Then we realized that we have no time in the ev
